The underling fell to the ground, cradling his cheek with a hand and was visibly upset.‘Did I say something wrong?‘But I’m not wrong!‘That’s eighty million we’re talking about here! The budget is forty million too, how could Boss just not want it back?’Alex didn’t want to watch their conflict any further. He nodded and said, “That’ll be all then!”He turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.The underlings were frustrated and confused. The one who was slapped crawled up to his feet and asked, “Boss, why wouldn’t you want the eighty million? If you didn’t want it, you could’ve given it to us!”Smack!The leader slapped him again and kicked him in the gut as well.“Want it? Why in the hell would we want the money? Do you want to live or what? Do you know who he is?“If it weren’t for me, all of us would’ve died right there and then!”Another underling asked, “Boss, who is he?”The leader took a gulp. “You’ve guys heard of what happened back in Valtameri Tower y
As soon as he got home, Alex started making more pills with the stove. When Michelle arrived, he immediately helped her restore her core and aided her… Moreover, he had to help Nathan reform the Golden Crushing Punch.In the end, he was exhausted out of his mind, falling asleep immediately as soon as night fell.Waltz rushed over to him once again, lying down on his bed. Alex didn’t have the energy to chase her out this time, hence he just turned over and hugged her, falling into deep sleep.The next day, Alex was studying the Stake of Exorcism, he wanted to reform it into his secret weapon. However, he received a call from Daya at three in the afternoon.“Alex, my filming team had filmed a few clips for the Lush Cosmetics commercials. Are you free to come over and review them now?” Daya asked nervously.She was hoping to see him again, but she was worried that she’d lose control over herself if she did.‘This is so difficult.‘I know he has a wife, but I can’t help but thin
Daya was already extremely gorgeous on her own.With traditional clothing and makeup on, she was even prettier compared to the concert at the stadium. She looked like an ethereal goddess.All the men stared at her in awe.The guard who had been laughing at Alex earlier, was now drooling just from the sight of her.As for who Daya just called out to...That was not important to them.More importantly, her voice was as perfect as usual.It felt as if she was talking to them in the most loving voice possible.This was because Daya had released her mental power unintentionally.Ellington rushed up to her with his bouquet of flowers, his eyes filled with adoration. “Daya, you’re finally here! I know that today’s your birthday, so I came all the way from Alaska just to wish you a happy birthday. Oh and, since it’s a special day…”He got down on one knee, taking out a diamond ring. “Daya, I love you. And I will keep loving you for eternity. I know you love me too, right?’“Huh?” Da
Realizing that Alex was resisting and refusing to move an inch, Daya clenched her teeth and went on her tiptoes. She kissed Alex hard and passionately.‘Dear god.’More importantly, Alex felt as if he was recalling his past life at that very moment, as if Daya was the past lover he had been looking for all this while.In that moment, all that’s left in his mind was happiness and yearning.All of his rationality disappeared into thin air as he hugged Daya tightly, kissing her back with just as much passion.The two started making out in front of everyone.“Oh my god!” Elena screamed, yet she looked obviously overjoyed.Ellington looked as if his mother just died in front of his eyes. Elena walked up to him and grabbed his hand. “Ellington, Daya really does have a lover. Just look at them go, they must have done this thousands of times in private. It’s obvious that she’s no virgin now. But I’m different, I’m still saving myself for the right person. And I really like you, I’ll b
The guard turned green and pale, seemingly petrified.A few minutes ago, he didn’t expect this average-looking man, who looked like a hardcore fan, to be Daya’s lover.Daya had the utmost power in the company. He would be easily fired as long as she said so.“Sir, I was wrong to have judged you. I’m sorry, please forgive me…”Alex interrupted him. “I’m not trying to force you to do anything. However, if you’re a man, you have to keep your word. So I hope you learned your lesson. The eyes are easily deceived. The person you insult may be someone who can make your life a living hell. You don’t have to eat the whole trash can. Just hug it till you get off work.”Eating trash and hugging the trash can were very different punishments.The guard let out a deep sigh of relief. He looked extremely grateful towards Alex as he picked up the trash can. “Thank you sir, thank you.”Daya was smart as she was able to guess what had happened despite not knowing any of the details. She glared
“Well, I’m a member of City Salon after all.”As the spokesperson of Lush Cosmetics, Daya would no longer need to worry about not getting their products.After reviewing, Alex sent the videos to his mother and called her to help decide on one.In just a few minutes, Brittany replied on the other end of the phone. “These are amazing! Son, help me thank Daya. We would definitely broadcast all three at the same time.”With this, everything was settled.Alex smiled. “You heard her, my mom told me to thank you. Since it’s your birthday, would you like to grab some dinner together and celebrate?”“I don’t mind.”“Alright then, let’s go everyone. All of you must’ve had a long day at work. We’re heading to South Cali Dining now.”Alex felt as if Thousand Miles Conglomerate was no different from his own backyard.Since South Cali Dining was owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Alex didn’t have to reserve a room beforehand. As soon as he showed his VIP card, the manager immediately cam
In just minutes, Alex and Daya reached her villa.Alex had been here twice, but it was different this time.His mindset felt different.After opening the door, Daya took off her high heels and walked into her living room barefooted. She threw her purse aside and twirled around at the same spot. Her movements were light and swift.“It feels good to be home!” She turned around to look at Alex, noticing that he was hesitant. She waved at him and said, “Come in! Why are you standing at the door?”“Uhm… I think… I should go home. I…”He didn’t dare to go in. His eyebrows were twitching, as if something was bound to happen if he went in.However, before he could finish his sentence, Daya skipped over and dragged him inside. “Hey, how can you leave? What about my birthday present then?”Alex smiled softly and took off his shoes as well. It would be impossible for him to reject her now.He walked in nonchalantly and asked, “So which song do you want me to play? Is it the song from b
Dorothy felt a pit in her stomach.“Do you want to know what your husband is doing with this woman?“You’ll know when you come to Golden Manor 18!”Back at the villa, Alex placed the music sheets aside and closed his eyes, pondering for a brief while. Placing his hands onto the piano keys, he started playing the song.The beautiful yet melancholic melody filled the room.Daya started singing as well.Their mental power merged perfectly once again.“Years go by, seasons pass, our souls have wandered apart.As memories flash down the road to hell, love will return to our hearts.We may yearn, but don’t you cry. We’ll see each other at the end of time.I’m still reading, reading the past, trying to recall what would make us last.I hold our promise in my heart, where could you be, my lover from the past?”Her singing was clear and sorrowful, echoing through the room.Alex continued to play the piano as Daya sang.However, the two made eye contact throughout the whole song
